Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R): 

Assertion (A): Heterospory in some pteridophytes paved the way for the evolution of seeds in higher plants.
Reason (R): The megaspores and microspores in heterosporous ferns give rise to female and male gametophytes respectively.


In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:

1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
